For most of its almost two-hour running length, "Asako in Ruby Shoes" is a visual essay on the boredom that infects directionless lives. But the film ends with a scene that is both surprising and perhaps inevitable that turns the movie into something very different. Lee Jung-Jae plays U-In, a low-level local government office worker in Korea who lives an insular, solitary existence and disdains his job. He is drawn to a henna-haired young beauty named Mia (Kim Min-Hie), but she has no interest in him. U-In gravitates to a website on which young women display themselves for money. He seeks to find a woman who looks like Mia and finds on the website 'Asako in Ruby Shoes'. 'Asako' actually is a young Japanese woman named Aya (Tachibana Misato), who, like U-In, is drifting through life aimlessly and is playing with the idea of committing suicide. Aya befriends a colleague named Rie (Awata Urara), a lively, if depressive, young woman who devotes herself to becoming a catch for a young man. Aya and Rie seem to have nothing in common other than their loneliness, but Rie injects some much-needed enthusiasm into Aya's life (and into this movie). The film follows U-In's and Aya's meandering, detached existences, with the only connection between them being that U-In watches Aya/Asako on the Internet and sends her occasional unanswered messages. The film leavens the dreary lives of its characters with a wry sensibility that approaches a kind of black humor. What makes this film worth watching is its ending, which made me exclaim, "Oh! That's nice!" It is a perfect ending which colors your perception of everything that preceded it in the movie. It is astonishing to realize that the next project for Lee Jae-Yong, the director of this tale of post-adolescent ennui, was the intriguing and complex historical drama, "Untold Scandal". |

beautiful but dull

| the movie was beautiful. there was great acting. But the movie was dull; there were interactions between the two main characters. there was not a point of climax--the movie just seemed to have dragged on and on. |

Reeeealy Slow
Reeeealy Slow
| The description was interesting but I was disappointed. I liked how the story switched back and forth between the two main characters between Korea and Japan, but I was hoping that there would be more interaction between the two. And their lives are really depressing. I don't need happiness in my movies (after all, I really liked "Indian Summer") but this movie made me feel like I was watching ice cream melt on a hot, humid day. This was probably the director's goal where you begin to feel the same languid pointlessness that the characters feel, but I was never able to feel sympathy for the characters. Maybe I would have liked it better if I felt more depressed. |

I wasn't really sure what to make of the film just seeing the reviews. But it was a pleasant surprise and I was really impressed and enjoyed the film. It is artsy and tells the story in a way that most films don't tell a story. The acting was great and the quality of the filming was very good also. If you like Artsy this is for you. |
